Keep at the not smoking. Don't think of it as not ever smoking, but rather that you did not smoke x cigarettes that day and that your lungs are much happier.

Well Pollyanna Benzinha

If anyone could give a sense of what's going on in the world in a few short minutes (well maybe half an hour) it's you. A Ruandan hero indeed - so many did not have a chance.
You are very funny about the ciggies

oh maj, remember the crashing computer? Well, every time I try to add

text to photos on the cd catalogue, the computer crashes after I have finished quite a few, not, repeat not saving them. Or, it saves them in some strange and mangled form. So, I turn it off and turn it on later and redo the  photos with text and a few make it through the process and then it crashes again. Thus, I have produced very few photos with text on them saying what size the pieces are and what prices they are.................. sigh.

I gave up on the process and just saved and burned the photos that were there. Couldn't even weed out some of the bad photos because as I went through those identified with numbers only  the computer would slow down to a crawl and then freeze as I pulled each one up to decide  whether to delete it, rename it or not.

I have sent out four different versions of the cd catalogue, as I go through the pile deleting some and adding a little more text to others, improving the  collection ever so slightly. I have no time in the fall  busy season to mess with this mess and am just grateful to have anything to mail out for the first time ever.  Sigh...............

My family females are all either teachers or nurses and so, I find myself teaching a lot, especially to children who really want to throw their little lives away as artists. Austin wants to follow this particularly poor Muse, but may do well, as authentic Indian artwork has its wealthy followers and he is off to a good young start at nine.

 Constant and neverending improvement, as you say, my new forever goal......nurses rule, as you know, especially the dominant and persnickety ones. And no, the price list isn't $20, but $75, and thanks for asking. I'm glad that you got to see more of my work.

When I enrolled i nursing school at the age of 28, they "asked" me...

... why I was doing it.

I said, "What better way to spend my life than bettering it?".

Later, I heard a 62 year old classmate say much the same to another young whippersnsapper.

 

 

At least I had the presence of mind NOT to say "To follow the eighteen year old girls up the stairs between classes".

 

(Got the CD. Remarkably devoid of prices. Is the CD free and the price list $20?).

 

Very good of you to give that young pot painter some tips and mentoring!
